SPRINGFIELD — The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for sections of the Connecticut River in Montague, Northampton and Enfield, where rising water levels could cause minor to moderate flooding Wednesday night through Thursday.

"Snowmelt from the upper Connecticut basin, combined with one to two inches of rain that fell yesterday, will result in sharp rises on the Connecticut River," the weather service said.

Officials say the flooding will likely impact homes on Island Road in the Oxbow area of Northampton, as well as low-lying parts of Hadley and Southampton.

Back water from the Connecticut River could also push the Mill River over its banks, flooding parts of Valley Street and surrounding areas, the weather service reports.

Rising floodwaters are also expected to impact low-lying sections of the Connecticut River towns of Agawam, Longmeadow and Suffield.

Farther north, Vermont officials have been monitoring floods in numerous communities across the Green Mountain State.

The good news, says Mark Bosma, public information officer for the state Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, is that most Vermont rivers are receding and expected to drop below the flood stage by later today.

Meanwhile, several state and local roads have been closed due to the flooding. "Motorists are asked to respect all detours and advised to never drive across a flooded road," Bosma said.

On Tuesday, a woman apparently disregarded that advice and had to be rescued from a truck that got stuck in rising floodwaters in the northern Vermont town of Montgomery. Members of the Vermont State Police, the Franklin County (Vt. ) Sheriff’s Office and other first responders helped rescue the woman, who wasn't seriously injured.

Local resident Stanley Longley fetched his tractor, and sheriff Cpl. Brendan McKenney jumped aboard. Longley backed the farm vehicle into the river and made his way to the truck, at which point McKenney broke a window and pulled the woman from the vehicle's cab.

Police said she was taken to Northwest Medical Center in nearby St. Albans as a precaution.

Vermont State Police officials used the state's flooding problems as a chance to remind people of the dangers of driving on submerged roadways.

More deaths occur due to flooding than from any other severe weather-related hazard, according to the National Weather Service. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that more than half of all flood-related deaths occur when vehicles attempt to navigate flooded roadways.
